摘要
背景：紧急医疗服务（EMS）是关键的医疗保健系统，特别是在急诊医学（EM）教育。本研究的重点是沙特急诊医学项目中EMS轮转的现状和结构。目的：目的是评估沙特急诊医学项目中EMS轮转课程的可用性和实施情况，以满足沙特卫生专业委员会（SCHS）的要求，确定其交付中的差距，并提出改进的领域，以提高标准化和有效性。方法：对沙特阿拉伯急诊医学项目主任和居民进行横断面调查。纳入标准是2018年之后完成EMS轮转的医生。调查收集了参与者背景、可用活动、评估相关服务和现场经验的数据。采用SPSS version 24进行数据分析，采用卡方检验确定统计学显著性。结果：研究共纳入68名参与者，其中51.5%为在职EM居民，42.6%为毕业EM居民。大多数来自中央新兴市场住院医师计划（51.5%）。院前卫生保健提供者的教育是报告最多的活动（78%），其次是乘车（地面）（75%）和派遣观察（66.1%）。根据受访者的职位和地点，观察到活动可用性和评估服务的显着差异。例如，7.1%的东部地区项目提供了空中出行服务，而西部项目的这一比例为0%。41.5%的参与者报告说，EMS轮转中最有意义的组成部分是陪伴。结论：本研究强调了沙特急诊医学项目中EMS轮转活动和评估服务的可变性，并强调了与SCHS要求相一致的更结构化和全面的培训方法的必要性。
Evaluation of the Availability and Implementation of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Training in Saudi Emergency Medicine Programs.
Background: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is pivotal in the healthcare system, particularly in Emergency Medicine (EM) education. This study focuses on the current state and structure of the EMS rotation within Saudi Emergency Medicine Programs.
Objective: The aim is to evaluate the availability and implementation of the EMS rotation curriculum in Saudi Emergency Medicine Programs concerning the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCHS) requirements, identify gaps in its delivery, and propose areas for improvement to enhance standardization and effectiveness.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among emergency medicine program directors and residents in Saudi Arabia. Inclusion criteria were physicians who had completed EMS rotations after 2018. The survey collected data on participant backgrounds, available activities, evaluation-related services, and field experience. SPSS version 24 was used for data analysis, employing Chi-square tests to determine statistical significance.
Results: The study included 68 participants, 51.5% current EM residents and 42.6% graduated EM residents. The majority were from the Central EM residency program (51.5%). Education of prehospital healthcare providers was the most reported activity (78%), followed by ride-along (Ground) (75%) and dispatch observation (66.1%). Significant differences in activity availability and evaluation services were observed based on respondents' positions and locations. For instance, ride-along (Air) was available in 7.1% of Eastern Region programs compared to 0% in Western programs. The most meaningful component of EMS rotation, as reported by 41.5% of participants, was ride-along.
Conclusion: This study highlights the variability in EMS rotation activities and evaluation services across Saudi emergency medicine programs and underscores the need for more structured and comprehensive training approaches aligned with SCHS requirements.
